What If We've Been Doing OT Security Backward?
Course
Sam Maesschalck reframes OT security through the lens of human factors, examining how cultural backgrounds shape risk perception, why IT-OT misunderstandings persist, and what building true resilience in industrial systems really means.
Despite years of effort toward IT and OT convergence, many organizations still struggle with misaligned priorities, cultural friction and communication gaps. Security strategies often default to IT-centric solutions, such as patching and multifactor authentication. These strategies, however, overlook the realities of operational environments, where safety, uptime and process integrity take precedence.
In this video lesson, Sam Maesschalck, lead OT cyber security engineer at Immersive Labs, reframes OT security through the lens of human factors and explores:
- How cultural backgrounds shape risk perception;
- Why misunderstandings persist between IT and OT teams and how to bridge them;
- What it really means to build resilience in industrial systems.
